Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Hec, I want it, please. Because I have a power pop Xmas tape you made, and though I don't know if all the tracks on the tape are the same as on this listing, I would still love them in digital format, so I can put them on my iPod.

And don't you have a great version of Merry Christmas Baby, by -- I think -- Southern Culture on the Skids? I would *really* love that as an mp3.

It's good to be the king.

I'll put it up with my personal favorite Christmas original of the last 15 years, "And To All A Good Night" by 5 Chinese Brothers.
